Okay, so the off season officially begins now that the Grey Cup is over. Lots of topics for discussion in the months to come with the Bombers & the League. A new CBA needs to be negotiated sooner rather than later.  Will there be an eventual agreement or a lockout? How much will the salary cap go up? Randy Ambrosie is on record that wants the cap to significantly go up so that is a positive.  Will Bo Levi Mitchell sign with an NFL or perhaps another CFL team? What about Mike Reilly & Trevor Harris who are also free agents? There's a new start up league called the  AAFL & there are legit concerns that it'll draw star CFL players away or hamper free agent signings with CFL teams. Coaching changes in BC & Toronto. The continuing evolving story of the expansion Halifax Schooners & possible exhibition games in Mexico.

There's a Chicken Chef in Ashern too.

 

No see they have a big goose, Ashern has a big Sharptail Grouse

Well that grouse looks like they took the Lundar goose and splattered white paint on it's belly. Maybe Eriksdale can go to Poplarfield and steal their King Buck and offer some definition in statues between Lundar and Ashern. That way when you fall asleep in Lundar and wake up half way to Ashern you will know the difference between the two pretty much identical towns by which side of the Buck you are on..

My family is from Moosehorn. One of the first family to homestead there in the very early 20th century. Their house where my dad was born in 1916 & where he grew up about 5 miles from town is on display in the centre of town. I've never seen it & one of these days I'd like to drive up there to see it.

if you find yourself in that situation it's high time to question the choices you've made in life.

No doubt. I saw a page and a half of comments and thought something big happened in the league.....turns out it was arguing over a bunch of bird statues

I predict that Ambrosie will go down as another epic CFL Commish fail...

Spending lots of $$ on his world tour - on a league that needs to build its grassroots support first...

I'm waiting for the announcement that negotiations have begun with Outer Slobovia for a partnership agreement.

This is a Trump diversion...takes the focus away from the CBA

FYI Nobody cares about your tiny little dump towns. I spit on all of them. Especially you guys from Wollerton.

Who cares about the stadium in Halifax? They're already cheaping out & it'll look like **** just like their team will be.

Moosehorn is the next town north of Ashern on Hwy 6.

Ummmmm. Where have you been? Li was living in Winnipeg for almost 2 years and is now a completely free man....

But some distance from Mooserectum which is about 5 1/2 hours west of Winnipeg on Highway #1.

A sad backstory about Li- he was dumped out of Edmonton's "mental health" system as a cost-cutting measure. He was given a few anti-psychotic meds, a prescription for more, $100 and a bus ticket to Winnipeg.

Wow, Moosehorn has a 1st Ave S and a 1st Ave N, but no 2nd or up.

(when I get bored I just look at places on Google Maps.  It's an amazing time we live in.)

Think I spotted SF27's heritage house, but not sure.
